On the 10 th June 1838, a brutal massacre of a family of 28 old men, women, children and babies of the Wirrayaraay and Gamilaroi peoples took place at Myall Creek.

In a following court case, seven stock-men were hung for participating in the brutal massacre. Descendants of Aboriginal people who survived the massacre form part of the Myall Creek Memorial Committee, which co-manages the Myall Creek Memorial site.
